fv{f_v} and fr{f_r} are the focal lengths of a convex lens for violet and red light respectively and Fv{F_v} and Fr{F_r} are the focal lengths of a concave lens for violet and red light respectively, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
fv<  fR{f_v} < \,\,{f_R} and Fv<Fr{F_v} < {F_r}
Option B (fv< fR{f_v} < \,{f_R} and Fv<Fr{F_v} < {F_r}) is correct because the refractive index is higher for violet light than for red light, leading to shorter focal lengths for convex lenses and shorter (more negative) focal lengths for concave lenses.

A man can see the object between 15  cm15\,\,cm and 30  cm30\,\,cm. He uses the lens to see the far objects. Then due to the lens used, the near point will be at
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
30  cm30\,\,cm
The correct answer is B (30  cm30\,\,cm) because the lens is used to see far objects, so the near point remains unchanged at 30 cm.

For total internal reflection to take place, the angle of incidence i and the refractive index μ\mu of the medium must satisfy the inequality
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
1sin⁡  i  <  μ\frac{1}{{\sin \,\,i}}\,\, < \,\,\mu
Option A (1sin⁡  i  <  μ\frac{1}{{\sin \,\,i}}\,\, < \,\, \mu) is correct because the condition for total internal reflection involves the refractive index and the angle of incidence.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
+ 1\mathrm{ + }\,\mathrm{1}
Option C is correct. A plane mirror produces a virtual, erect, and same-sized image, hence the magnification is +1.

Statement-A: Image formed by concave lens is not always virtual.

Statement-B : Image formed by a lens is real if the image is formed in the direction of ray of light with respect to the lens.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
A and B are correct
Option A (A and B are correct) is correct because a concave lens can form a real image under specific conditions, and a real image is formed in the direction of light rays after passing through the lens.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
12.96 cm12.96 \mathrm{~cm}

A microscope is focused on a coin lying at the bottom of a beaker. The microscope is now raised up by 1  cm1\,\,cm. To what depth should the water be poured into the beaker so that coin is again in focus? (Refractive index of water is 43\frac{4}{3} )
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
4  cm4\,\,cm
Option D (4 cm) is correct because the apparent shift due to refraction must be compensated by the height of the water poured.

When a plane mirror is rotated through an angle θ\theta then the reflected ray turns through the angle 2 θ2\,\theta then the size of the image
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C

An object is placed in front of a convex mirror of focal length ff. Find the maximum and minimum distance of two object from the mirror such that the image is real and magnified.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
f  and  2 ff\,\,\mathrm{and}\,\,2\,f
Option B (f  and  2 ff\,\,\mathrm{and}\,\,2\,f) is correct because a real and magnified image can only be formed by a concave mirror, not a convex mirror. The question is flawed, but assuming it meant a concave mirror, the object must be between f and 2f.

A convergent lens of power 8D is used as a simple microscope. The magnification produced by the lens, when the final image is formed at least distance of distinct vision (i.e. 25 cm) is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
3
Option D (3) is correct because the magnification produced by a simple microscope is given by 1+(D/f)1 + (D/f), where D is the least distance of distinct vision and f is the focal length. The power is 8D, so f = 1/8 m = 12.5 cm. Thus, M = 1 + (25/12.5) = 3.

When light waves suffer reflection at the interface between air and glass, the change of phase of the reflected wave is equal to
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C

A real image is formed by a convex lens. If we put it in contact with a convave lens and the combination again forms a real image, which of the following is true for the new image from the combination:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Shifts away from the lens system
Option B (Shifts away from the lens system) is correct because adding a concave lens to a convex lens increases the effective focal length, causing the image to shift further away.

A ray of light is incident at an angle of 600{60^0} on one face of a prism of angle 300{30^0}. The ray emerging out of the prism makes an angle of 300{30^0} with the incident ray. The emergent ray is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Normal to the face through which it emerges
Option A (Normal to the face through which it emerges) is correct because the angle of the prism is 30 degrees, and the deviation is also 30 degrees, implying the ray emerges normally.

A leaf which contains only green pigments, is illuminated by a laser light of wavelength 0.632  μm0.632\,\,\mu m. It would appear to be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Black
Option B is correct because a leaf containing only green pigments absorbs all colors except green, and since red light is not green, it will be absorbed, making the leaf appear black.

For which colour, velocity of light is maximum in glass:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Red
Option C (Red) is correct because the velocity of light is maximum for red color in glass due to its longer wavelength and lower refractive index.

A converging lens is used to form an image on a screen. When upper half of the lens is covered by an opaque screen
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Complete image will be formed of decreased intensity
Option D (Complete image will be formed of decreased intensity) is correct because each point on the lens contributes to the entire image, so blocking part of the lens reduces the amount of light reaching the image, thus decreasing intensity.

A divergent lens will produce
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Always a virtual image
Option A (Always a virtual image) is correct because a divergent lens (concave lens) always produces a virtual, erect, and diminished image, regardless of the object's position.
